VIDEO GAME CULTURE HAS LONG RELIED ON "CRACKERS," THE FEARLESS GEEKS WHO REMOVE A GAME'S COPY PROTECTION THROUGH BRUTE FORCE. CRACKERS OFTEN LEAVE BEHIND MODIFIED START-UP SCREENS AS EVIDENCE OF THEIR TRADE. THIS SPECIAL CRACKER GRAFFITI BOTH DOCUMENTS THE INTRUSION AND PROVIDES A PLATFORM TO SHOWCASE THE CRACKER'S SKILLS.

"LOW LEVEL ALL-STARS" SHOWCASES THE BEST CRACKER TAGS SELECTED FROM OVER 1000 GAMES AVAILABLE FOR THE COMMODORE 64 COMPUTER. ALL CRACKER TAGS HAVE BEEN RE-CRACKED BY BEIGE AND RSG AND EXTRACTED AS STAND-ALONE COMMODORE ANIMATIONS. YOU MAY WATCH A VIDEO CLIP DOCUMENTING EACH PIECE, OR VIEW STILL IMAGES. ROMS WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON FROM THIS SITE. ALL DOCUMENTATION WAS MADE DIRECTLY FROM THE C64 WITH NO COMPUTER EMULATION. Download them here

"My fascination for C64 cracktros began a long time ago. Here you can see a selection of my attempts to reproduce more or less famous cracktros in flash and some of my personal "doc snyder"-stuff as well.

Why Flash? Well, my intention was to let people easily watch those little pieces of art from old times. 'Easily' means without the need of starting up an emulator or having to install certain plug-ins. Flash is a widely spread technology available for all sorts of operation systems which will allow nearly every user to play those flashtros."
